Bogota Reports

[BearEmy84]

Before people freak out over a leftist, just a reminder Petro was mayor of Bogota in 2012-2014. During which prostitution and Santa Fe were alive and well. Just read back in the forums.

Hi all,

Does anyone have any SA chicas they wouldn't mind sharing.

Some airbnbs are in buildings with security, but lots are not. Most that I have stayed in are suites attached to the owner's house. I generally will not bring a guest to those, I don't even ask the owner.

In the SF area many buildings with security, Museo Torre and Bacata have a few I have been to many different high rise building around SF that are great.

It might be, but there also isn't neccasarily another one that's available for 3 more weeks in the general area that I need to be in that isn't crappy. If I didn't have access to unlimted cell internet I would have had to move though.

All airbnbs that I have stayed in have had a locked front door and 24/7 security that opens it for you. I have only stayed north of Calle 80. If you read the airbnb house rules you can get a feel for how guest friendly or not a place will be. Some clearly state only people that checkin can enter for the duration of the stay. Others don't and I message those ones and ask what the guest policy was. The last airbnb replied back saying it was no problem, but if I get an internet prepaid and got drugged that it was my problem. That security wrote down name and government ID of my guests which is probably good for me.

Since I am still getting used to Bogota and my Spanish sucks I like the building security.

I stayed in dann carlton for a couple of times. Great location, always book for two. Never had different girls coming, but with one girl (my style) it was great.

I agree! Its my prefered soft landing to start my time in Bogota. I like to stay there for 2 to 3 nights, hit the mezz a bunch of times, and meet anyone new from seeking that is less pro / would take offense to a love motel. This way I don't invite them to my airbnb but I don't seem like a player by doing a love motel.

Any recommendations on hotels vs Airbnbs in Bogota? Planning on finding somewhere to stay in Chapinero.

Thanks for sharing! Isn't no internet connection an acceptable reason to cancel for a full refund and then try to find another airbnb / hotel?

What do you think about the safety aspect of airbnbs? Not sure what hotels are like in COL, but it seems people are saying there are usually security checking back in when they enter hotels? I don't usually see that in the US (pretty much anyone can walk into most hotels and go up to any room).

Can't edit my previous post, but I'm wondering how fast and reliable are the hotel internets in Bogota? I've found hotel (even high end hotels) internet to be flakey in the US, and airbnbs tend to be better, so I'm inclined to get an airbnb instead of a hotel because I need to work on my computer part of the time I'm there (10 days). But I think airbnbs may not be as secure?

Take care of your own security in each case, and internet in Airbnb is a crapshoot. But ones I have been in have worked, not always well. If a higher speed connection is needed you will have to be very specific before you book, asking the host. Even then you will need good luck.

A major business style hotel would be more likely to have a good connection. Or go to a co-working location set up for that.

I have had worse luck in 2 out of the last 3 airbnbs I stayed at for a month at a time. Current one was great until it wasn't. No internet for 5 days and a Claro tech is finally coming tomorrow. Luckily I had access to a wifi router that accepts a sim with unlimited data. Airbnb before that was in and out all the time and the wifi from the modem barely reached the bedroom.

I certainly am not suggesting all airbnbs are like that. But if you are from the states, think about what Comcast is like when things go wrong.

Dann Carlton hotel has always been good for me with internet.

***edit. I replied to the wrong post. I shouldn't post from phone. I think ya'll can figure it out though***

Then it means you never visit a casas or a club as it is always pay upfront.

Not my thing. It was at one time years ago but been there done that. No mi gusta.

Among the best hotels are Ritz Carlton and Intercontinental. They are all about discretion. I've made friends IE tipped well concierge and front desk managers that have called girls for me in international locations.

The W isn't on their level in terms of discretion or service. Domestically, none of the W's care who you bring up to your room.

Frankly, the thought that you'd have to pay extra to bring a guest to your room at a non all-inclusive place is crazy.

Domestic is different from Colombia. I'm just sharing my experience staying at the W Bogota as well as several other chain hotels. Pre-covid I traveled weekly for work and have all of the status you'd expect, yet they still try to charge me extra after you first +1 at the western hotels. They want you to check your girl in and most are trying to keep up appearances. At the end of the day just call and see what they say. The way I have gotten around it is by making separate 1 and 2 day reservations at the same hotel which allows me to have a new '+1' nearly every day. In this post Covid environment they may be more forgiving.
